Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has a bright future but needs to play more, says Danny Murphy

Danny Murphy says Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford must start to move on from being merely a potential, while Alan Shearer fears the signing of another 'big hitter' this summer may shaft him out wide.

Rashford was given the nod for the 3-1 win at the Riverside by Jose Mourinho in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic through suspension and injuries to captain Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial.

The academy product produced a lively display despite failing to get on the scoresheet, and former Liverpool midfielder Murphy believes it is now up to Rashford to make it impossible for his manager to ignore him.
